Have You Heard of 3-D Painting?
“3D Sculptural Painting” is one of the new classes at the Calabasas Senior Center. Taught by master painter and sculptor Beverly Barris, the class combines painting in acrylics with dimensional mediums such as air-dried clay, found objects, and modeling paste. The result is a unique and exciting realistic or abstract 3D Sculptural Painting.
“My purpose is to touch and connect with the human soul through my art. When I feel a rapport and harmony during the physical act of creating, I become one with the work. At this point, I know the truth is being expressed through my heart and soul,” explains Beverly. Raised in New York, Beverly graduated from the Parsons School of Design and has been named in “Who’s Who of American Women”.
She began by painting murals, commissioned paintings and faux finishes in clients’ homes and businesses. Beverly also teaches painting privately. She was the Art Director of Brides Magazine, Creative Director for Viewmaster-Ideal Toy Company, and an illustrator for books and magazines. Her partial client list in-cludes: McDonalds, Walt Disney, Sesame Street, Coca Cola, Avon and Mattel. Beverly has received numerous awards, been shown at prestigious museums and galleries, and her work has been purchased for private collections and auctioned at fundraisers.
For more information, call: (818) 224-1777.
